PointBase 5.6: Java relational database now with support for data encryption                          through Java Cryptography Extension

Since its inception in 1995, Java has become the language of choice for developers looking to create applications, middleware and tools to help organizations compete in a fast-paced world.

That’s where DataMirror’s powerful PointBase comes into play. The secure, zero administration and full featured SQL92/99 JDBC-compliant Java relational database seamlessly integrates into Java development environments and application server tiers to help users build and deploy portable Web applications. With PointBase, Java developers can create applications faster and with fewer errors, thereby accelerating development cycles, reducing development costs, and becoming more responsive to users’ needs.

For true adaptability, PointBase comes in three versions:

  • PointBase Embedded – for server application development
  • PointBase Micro – a compact database written for handheld devices
  • Transformation Server for Mobile – for synchronizing data between databases residing on mobile platforms and corporate back-end databases


PointBase Embedded: PointBase Embedded, DataMirror’s flagship PointBase solution, a platform-independent, full-featured relational database written entirely in Java. It’s ideally suited for software vendors developing in Java who need a database for effective storage of metadata, application-specific and interim data storage, and out-of-the-box tutorials and demonstration materials.

Key benefits of PointBase Embedded include shorter development cycles and faster time to market, complete portability across all platforms, low or no impact on application and system performance, and fast Web downloads for application testing, evaluation and deployment.

PointBase Embedded supports platforms with Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE™), Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE™) and Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME™ CDC), and it complies with SQL 92 and key features of SQL 99 standards. A Server Option is available for multiple and remote clients.

PointBase Micro: Looking for a way to improve productivity of your mobile workers? Boost their performance with PointBase Micro, a platform-independent, relational database written entirely in Java and optimized for mobile environments. This robust, ultra-compact solution can be embedded directly into mobile applications and is completely transparent to the user. It is small enough to run on virtually all of today's mobile devices yet includes comprehensive SQL functionality. It’s easy to deploy, install and operate with many applications and on any mobile platform.

Key benefits include cross-platform functionality for laptops, tablet PCs and PDA, and Java-based portability to eliminate recompiling for multiple platforms and reduce application upgrade complexities.

Pointbase Transformation Server for Mobile: Keeping critical mobile data up-to-date and productive requires periodic synchronization with corporate back-end databases. DataMirror Transformation Server for Mobile, a Java API, accomplishes this by taking just the data you need and synchronizing it with the corporate databases without the need for constant wireless access.

PointBase Transformation Server for Mobile supports platform-independent, bi-directional synchronization with Oracle®, Microsoft SQL® Server™ and other JDBC-compliant databases.
